The Everything Guide By Niki Bezzant
Hormones, health and happiness in menopause, midlife and beyond is what this book is all about. It is a fantastic read for all women heading towards middle age or already there, and I have my own list of ladies I’m sharing it with.
Author Niki Bezzant is a kiwi health writer so this guide is relevant and has the practical, down to earth feel that readers will be able to relate to. The delivery is non-judgemental, truly written to uplift the reader. No matter what your circumstances might be, there is wisdom here for everyone.
The title doesn’t lie, with topics covering a bit of everything affecting women in this next stage of life.
Health, exercise, food, mental wellbeing, sex, skincare and sleep, the list goes on, all explained in a simple way. Therefore, everyone can better understand what is happening within their bodies and make the right choices to live their best life.
While I would recommend reading the book cover to cover, every chapter is clearly marked with a green page, which makes it easy to refer to the parts you are most drawn to. Menopause and life after it is no longer a taboo subject. This guide is a great tool to help every woman make it the best stage of their life.

Death in a Lonely Place By Stig Abell
Lee Child, the author who has sold more than 100 million books, says of Abell’s second offering, “Loved this. Multiple layers of delight”, so who am I to disagree. Without reading the first novel, it is initially a bit of a challenge to get a comprehensive understanding of retired Detective Jake Jackson’s rationale for accepting the case, or cases, of a multiple-layered crime wave, possibly all connected to an especially cruel syndicate, potentially almost on his doorstep.
He is enjoying life at the rural retreat he recently inherited and doesn’t want to risk his new relationship, which also involves a young child. However, somehow he just can’t resist, especially as it may involve cold cases, active cases, abuse, kidnapping and possibly murder.
After setting the scene, the story moves along at a fast pace, becoming darker and scarier. Jackson is determined to bring the secretive group to its knees, but does someone he trust have a foot in both camps? Who is loyal to his cause, and who can he trust? Abell’s second crime fiction offering is an ultimately satisfying read.
